Robert L. Mayer, III, President
As the third generation of the Mayer family, Robert "Bob" Mayer III's primary responsibilities
include market analysis, acquisition, land planning and entitlement of many of the company's
land development projects. Prior to his involvement in the company's land development
operations, he directed the renovation of the guestrooms at the Hilton Waterfront Beach
Resort, a multi-million dollar project that was synchronized with the hotel’s on-going
operations.
Bob also acted as a project manager during the construction of the Hyatt Regency Huntington
Beach Resort and Spa, assuming full responsibility for the bidding, negotiation, installation and agency approval
of all kitchen and laundry equipment, a complex effort consisting of over $3 million of equipment and the
supervision of designers and contractors. Mr. Mayer's innate business savvy contributed to the on-budget, on-
time completion of this large-scale project.
Bob attended the University of Nevada at Las Vegas and worked as a manager in the food and beverage
operations at the Monte Carlo Casino and the Key Largo Casino.

him. "RJ," as he is better known, began his career by locating and assembling land for new
residential and hotel developments throughout California, Nevada and Arizona.

to make a smooth transition from the field to the boardroom. With his diverse background, RJ
serves The Robert Mayer Corporation well as he directs activities in the key growth areas of

the Orange County Business Council and is a member of the Board of Directors of the California Hotel &
Lodging Association.

He has served on the Boards of Directors for various philanthropic organizations throughout Orange County,
including the Boys and Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley and Serving People in Need (S.P.I.N.). RJ is also an
active participant in the Orange County Family Business Council. This association allows RJ to share issues and
opportunities with other second-generation business owners.
Robert L. Mayer, Chairman Emeritus

40 years ago. Under his leadership, the Company has financed and developed more than

including the 2,600-room Ambassador Inn hotel chain that he founded, the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort, the
Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa, and the Key Largo Hotel and Casino.
